corbum, and how I hate it

Post by Steve Hall »

Is anyone else having serious difficulty in grabbing corbum off the pillars before plummeting down a floor or two through those damn pits? I may just edit the blasted things out. Or I may just go back to DM and complete that again instead. :) Any tips would be appreciated. (I've tried dropping all my gear etc.) - cheers

Stay on the pressure pads longer, this will keep the pits infront of the corbums opened longer.

It ain't hard at all. In general......Unload weight so that you are
not slowed down. Pre-position the mouse cursor so you do not have
to move it to grab the corbum. (Face a wall and put it just
above the lowest mortar line). Use your left hand on the keyboard to
move quickly and press the left mouse button with your right hand.
Since no mouse movement is necessary you can do all of this in a
fraction of a second. Most of the corbum areas require yoiu to find
a false wall and press a button. Make sure you do that, too.

Now if you are having problems with a particular corbum, write
again and we can give specific hints. IMHO the preceeding note
about staying longer on the pressure pad is not true.
